The countdown to the year’s end continue today with yet another addition to Phil’s Picks’ 2016 “Best Of” lists. This time, Phil’s Picks offers its list of the year’s top new independent albums. This list was just as difficult as any assembled. Readers should understand independent doesn’t necessarily mean unsigned. Rather it encompasses unsigned bands and bands signed to independent labels, thus the title “Independent Albums.” Included in this year’s list are new releases from Cage9, All Hail The Yeti, Hannah Williams and the Affirmations among many others. As always, the list includes the year’s Top 10 new albums on the list as well as five honorable mention titles, bringing the total album count to 15. So, without further ado, here are Phil’s Picks 2016 Top 10 New Independent Albums.
